Reckoning with the horror of this possibility, and the collapse of his own authority, Brockauer presses into the woods to reclaim his missing men. But what he finds instead will reveal a terror more ancient than mankind itself — a terror that prepares to claim its due as fate tightens like a noose around the last survivors of the mountain.
